You know, you can get this stuff called "Shoe Goo" in the hardware store that works a whole lot better than RTV.

Guessing the RTV was on hand.

Used that stuff to do a redneck repair on my bike. I'd just buy a pair of new shoes, they're pretty cheap.

The fumes given off by RTV should be hitting your liver in a couple of hours.

Yep. The shed's right outside. The nearest decent hardware store is 27 miles away.

I'm fairly certain the insole was intended to be removable by design. Why Permatex it in solid?

Well, I've never had occasion to remove an insole, so I didn't think that feature was especially important.

Whoa, Rich! Try buying new gel insert insoles every year. Your feet will thank you!

You really thought that out.hope you used the quick dry.

Shoe Goo + duct tape FTW.

I like wearing high-top Converse All-Stars (most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn), but they get holes in the sole after a few months of wear.

Duct tape the inside, put a Dr. Scholl's insert in them, and then Shoe Goo the sole. Good for several more months of wear.

If you wash your shoes, or get them soaked for whatever reason, they will dry a lot faster if the insoles are removed.

How about odor eaters?

You have athletic shoes that last a whole year?

Have you seen pictures of Rich? With all due respect he doesn't strike me as a dedicated runner.

To answer your question.... Neither am I.
